Description

29P/ Schwassmann-Watchmann is about 15.5 magnitude now/ Individual frames could not pick it up. So, master R, G and B were aligned by comet. Stars were processed separately, added  later to image.
Now, some data shows that it is not comet, but some sort of "Flying volcano", which changed brightness drastically when erupts.
